Who wants to have their whole life run by Microsoft? As if we are not divorced enough from our natural selfs with things like ready meals. It really feels like the human race is becoming a slave to Microsoft technology and more generally divorced from our natural environment.

The only way I'd ever get an MS "hub" is if it made my life easier. If not, I'm not going to bother with it so won't be affected. If it does make my life easier: yay! it makes my life easier!!0

When you're going through Hell, Keep going!
If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation

his house came on mtv cribs once... he's got almost everything controlled.. for eg-each person has their own setting and when they walk in a room, the room recognises the person and adjusts temp, music, lighting, etc to that person......stuff like that.. nice house but i bet its annoying sometimes having the lighting and music change everytime some1 different walks into a room?? puts a whole new meaning to the phrase 'the temperature dropped as he walked through the door'!0
